Surjewala further added that “Is it true or false? The diary with BS Yeddyurappa's sign on it was with the Income Tax Department since 2017. If that is the case why did Modi ji and BJP did not get it investigated?”

After the controversial claims made by the Congress party, after quoting from a report published by The Caravan magazine, BJP’s B.S Yeddyurappa has responded and attacked the grand old party, saying ‘the report is fake.’

Yeddyurappa said, “Congress party and its leaders are bankrupt of ideas, they are frustrated with growing popularity of the Modi ji, they have lost the battle before it began. I-T Department officials have already proved that the documents are forged and fake.”

Ex Karnataka CM further added that “They have planted the story in the media to gain mileage in the upcoming elections. Issues raised by Congress leaders are irrelevant and false. I'm discussing with the senior advocates to file a defamation case against the concerned person also.”
